Description
Overview:
The Timco Square Plate Washer is a flat, square washer used to spread the load under a nut, bolt head, or threaded rod to protect the mating surface and improve joint stability. This version suits M12 fasteners and measures 2 inches (50.8 mm) across with a 3 mm thickness for dependable bearing area without adding excessive height. Made from plain (self‐colour) steel, it offers robust performance for construction, machinery, and fabrication tasks where a standard round washer would not provide enough coverage. Commonly paired with anchor bolts, coach bolts, or threaded rod on base plates, timber connections, and machinery mounts. Sold individually for easy replacement or small jobs. Manufacturer reference: WS12503Z.
Key Features:
- Suits M12 bolts, set screws, threaded rod, and anchor bolts for a consistent fit
- 2 inch (50.8 mm) square profile gives a larger bearing surface than standard round washers
- 3 mm thick steel helps reduce surface crushing and pull‐through on softer materials like timber
- Self‐colour (plain) steel finish for general purpose use or for coating on site if required
- Helps distribute clamping forces evenly to maintain joint integrity over time
- Straightforward to fit: slide over the fastener and tighten as normal
- Useful under base plates and brackets to improve load spread on uneven or oversized holes
- Durable design suitable for construction sites, workshops, plant repairs, and farm or garden machinery
- Sold individually, making it simple to replace single washers or buy exact quantities
- Part of a wider range available in hole sizes typically from M8 to M24
Typical Applications:
Used beneath nuts or bolt heads on anchor fixings for machinery bases and steel columns, under coach bolts in timber framing and fencing, on formwork and shuttering, and with threaded rod for brackets, racking, and pipe supports. Also helpful on garden and agricultural equipment mounts, trailer repairs, and general fabrication where a larger bearing area is needed to prevent surface damage.
